How To Modify The Client Portal Gateway Port

In some cases, a user may need to modify the port for their Client Portal Gateway. This most often arises because another process is already occupying Localhost port 5000.

To modify your port:

1. (Optional) Close the Client Portal Gateway if it is already running
2. Navigate to your Client Portal Gateway directory, such as /Users/my_user/cpgw
3. Enter the ./root directory to edit your conf.yaml file
4. Modify “listenPort” on line 4 from “5000” to the value of your choice.

• Port “5001” is a standard alternative that is not typically in use.

5. Save the content of the file and launch the Client Portal Gateway
